its not a fair question, because with the many years of star trek on TV, that makes it more relatable to people from a comfort level, that you dont have with star wars.

comparing star trek movies and star wars side by side, you just cannot exclude its TV history to its likeability factor

I like them both and you could include most of the Star Trek spinoffs. Also loved Battlestar Galactica as a kid and the newer version a few years back.

Star Trek is our universe. It’s science fiction set in “our” future. There is a strong element of realism at the core. As such, I’d say it’s more relatable.

Star Wars on the other hand is science fantasy. It’s essentially a universe totally created from scratch. Despite the “long time ago and galaxy far far away, there’s no tie in to “us”.

As others have pointed out as well, the mediums have a lot to do with it. Star Trek started out with 79 hours of episodes,
compared to maybe 10 hours of the original Star Wars trilogy. The 12+ different Star Trek series now have over 900 episodes total.

Star Trek could focus on strong stories while gradually developing characters, whereas Star Wars had to cram in character development while telling its story.

I am going with Shatner. My man slayed alien poon all over the galaxy and was the first person to kiss a black woman on T.V.

All Luke did was channel his inner bama and kiss his sister...but these days people search for that kind of shite on Pron Hub so I guess that may diminish my position in the minds of the masses.

Star Trek has the better track record as far as storylines, character development, and just staying relevant.

Star Wars is a fun space adventure.

Though I'd say Star Wars is more approachable by the general public than Star Trek.

Star Wars because the world is much more interesting.

Star Trek has much better story telling like you said.

Hmmmm...

I prefer the Star Wars OT to anything in Star Trek.

That said, outside of The OT, Star Trek has been far and away a better long term franchise. Oh, there have been a ton of misses, but the average is so much better for ST than SW once you leave the first Lucas trilogy.

I love both but star wars would’ve competed if Disney hadn’t deleted the massive EU. Star Trek never crapped on its extended universe like that.
